Hey fellas,

Wanted to stop by and give you a sneak peek at the logo I've submitted to gamedev ops for review. Thought you might appreciate the nod to the wiki's origins...

Hey Oluseyi,

That really looks like a nice idea!

Even if, it's the thought that counts. I like it. :)

hmm, any one of 100 programs will tell you it scales well (gets rid of the jpg compression artifacts also)

nice lighting. It looks just like if you ran it through a fireworks/photoshop bevel algorithm. Yours looks much better though.

I can't see your images, unfortunately...

GameDev's ops don't like it, so we're going to try something else. I should upload that tomorrow. Thanks for the enthusiasm, guys, and I'll definitely keep the GPWiki logo incorporated somehow.

They'll approve it if it looks more like the G is eating Scooter.

That's a shame :( Did they say what they didn't like about it?

lol @ ViX

I liked that one OK.

What happened to the idea with cranes and stuff, building the logo, to indicate the collaborative nature of the wiki? Green like that is usually an avoided color in graphic design, except on St. PatrickÅ› day.

Being as I am one of the ops, I can at least explain why I don't like it: the chances of seeing it and thinking of anything even remotely related to the concept of a wiki are basically zero, IMO. Specifically, the chances of people using either of the following two words
  • collaboration
  • creation

in relation to it are remote. I'll be much happier with a logo that incorporates at least one of those concepts, if not both.

How about two cranes building Lil' Endian, with pixels as components, or something...

Something like this, except not crappy:

Someone with more skill in graphics could make it look better. Alpha blending them make it hard to see the logo, so I had to change the contrast between white and black.

A bit of plagiarism here, but how about the wikipedia logo, but instead of the various greek symbols etc. on the pieces, instead alternate between the GD logo and lil' endian? Or possible have them in the 2 most obvious pieces, and then use various graphics and symbols on the other visible pieces to represent game development :)

I'm not going to attempt to do it myself though because I suck badly at artistic work :P
